Some countries no longer tell you what your CD4 count is if you are undetectable.
If you live in a country that still tells you your CD4 count, what was your last number?
185
Someone that is negative asked me a question I didn't know how to answer. Are there folks that stay positive for life or does it all end with AIDS?
asking for a friend
Not if they take care of themselves it's not necessarily that they will get a diagnosis of Aids .
Once diagnosed I did just that ( take care of myself ( of course aided by my late husband who was at… read more
It takes a while period. It took me about 8 months to get to undetectable and over a year to to get to over 200. I kinda stayed in the 300 and 400's for a couple years.
I'm working on getting back on my meds. I have a Dr. appointment next week. I was recently put on Tivicay and Descovy. But then my prescription ran out. I needed Labs done. Then my drivers license was stolen. I had to wait for another one. Then eventually when It came in I had to schedule another lab appointment. Needless to say, I've been OFF the medications for over a month, possibly Month and 1/2. What does this do to the inside of my body and how does it affect how I feel???
Lol, I didn't see that....Good news
I have been undetectable for nearly 6 months but never have had a cd4 above 170 and that was when I had a viral load of 500,000 !!! Not a typo. Technically this has kept me in the AIDS dx but zero symptoms. Even my ID doc is puzzled by it considering I have had zero symptoms in 1.5 years.
Anyone with similar viral load and cd4 discrepancies?
What does your doc say?
Don't worry when your VL under 50, it call undetacteble and your CD4will increase,my VL take me yrs just under 50but since my VL always under 50, my Car never over 500,the highest time it was… read more
Usually my cd4 count had been increasing about 20 each doctors visit.
April 9- 29
April 28- 53
July 7- 79
October 2- 109
However, this time (from october 2 - January 10) it only went from 109 to 112
Should i be concerned? This has me stressed out.
Yeah. Once my cd4 reaches 200/250 ill get off it
I’m going to a wedding on Sunday and probably will have 5 or 6 alcoholic drinks at the event. 2 days later on Tuesday I’m getting my blood drawn to check my blood results it’s been 4 months since my last test.Will the alcohol from Sunday affect my viral load or cd 4 counts results? I know biktarvy does not have any negative interactions with alcohol but just pondering whether alcohol will skew my viral load cd4 count levels on top of my liver enzymes etc. any thoughts?
Given many hiv positive guys here in the UK are into so called pnp (party and play), this means very hard drugs taken at gay sex parties, they dont care about their health, I reckon few alcholic… read more
I just watched a video and in the video the guy stated that your cd4 count only raises about 300. Do you agree or disagree with this? Whats your experiences with your cd4 counts.
